Your generosity and willingness to help KuL with small, large and enormous amounts of money, hard work, energy and solidarity (once again) to open a new chapter leaves me speechless. And so we can conclude an extremely successful crowdfunding campaign.

Within a few weeks, we found new premises, developed decoration concepts and received an INCREDIBLE CHF 5000 (FIVE THOUSAND!!!) to realise these concepts. And of course we started immediately!

Since this Monday, we have been painting, flooring, decorating and listening to Patricia&Mario’s wedding playlist at Weissensteinstrasse 16.

All that remains for me to do is to take a bow, refer to our donor page and say

!MERCI VIU MAU!

And what happens anyway, of course?

Once a year we move. This time to Weissensteinstrassse 16, as decided at last Sunday’s general meeting. We will now have three (!) playable rooms there, which will of course be decorated in a fantastic or scifiesque or library style. And all this starting the end of October!

Below is an overview of all the changes; you can find more details in the minutes:

Finances

So that we can afford the new (more expensive) rooms, the following changes were decided:

• Price for KuL membership increased to 100 from 2026. (If this poses a financial problem, please do not hesitate to get in touch)
• New room rental fee for KuLists after relocation 50.-
• New room rental fee for non-KuLists after relocation 70.-

However, we are also dependent on additional support so that we can furnish the rooms in the way we envision. A thousand thanks to all those who have already donated for the new facilities! If you would also like to help make KuL’s new premises possible:

Renovation and moving

The move to Weissensteinstrasse 16 is scheduled for Saturday, October 18. Any helping hands are very welcome! But there is also plenty to do before then: painting, DIY, laying flooring, and much more. To help us coordinate everything, please fill out the following Doodle so we know when we have helpers available.

We need most helpers at the beginning and on the 18th. Please let us know if you can help outside of these dates or at specific times. The times given are approximate. We would also be happy to have your help an hour later!

Code of Conduct

To better represent KuL’s stance on shared play, the Höck has adopted a Code of Conduct. Both GMs and players who use KuL’s rooms can rely on this code.
Thank you for drafting it! If you have any questions or comments, please let us know!

Events

Of course, there will also be a number of events in the coming months:

The next Höck will take place on
Wednesday, November 5 at 18:00
Participation possible on site or via Discord.

Last week, 15 KuLists met in the new lounge at Güterstrasse 48 (or online in the Discord) to discuss and vote on the budget, board and planning for 2025. The most important points in brief:

• The majority of the new Board consists of existing Board members: Alain, Cenk, Mario, Patricia and Tim. Elia is a new member – welcome!
  Merci to the former ones: Manuel and Sybille!
  
• Membership fees amount to CHF 60 again this year – invoices have already been sent out (haven’t received any? Please get in touch 🙂 )
  
• Due to the expenses for the remodelling of the new premises, we have to suspend the previous discounts for multiple bookings. In other words, the prices for a room booking are again fixed at Chf 40.- (for KuLists) or Chf 60.- for non-members.
  
• A new game event vessel will be created, the room hire of which will be sponsored by KuL as long as the events are open to the public. This is intended as a follow-up project to Arcanor and also includes, for example, our Pathfinder Society or System of the Month games. More information will follow.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part and to everyone who supports KuL in other ways! You are awesome!

Details, as always, in the minutes (german):

Some impressions of the new rooms:

We’ll be moving soon! The last two weeks have been spent building, painting, crafting and decorating the premises at Güterstrasse 48. Slowly but surely the whole thing is taking shape and color and the idea of the environment in which we will soon be able to play our games is becoming more and more vivid. I’m really looking forward to it! Thank you to everyone who has invested dozens of hours over the last few days – you are mega KUL!

And of course we continue with:

Events!

• Goodbye Laupenstrasse, 23.1.
  It will soon be over, the time when our association had its home in Laupenstrasse. And even though we have every reason to look forward to the new location and all the great stories we will experience in Güterstrasse, we want to raise our glasses to Laupenstrasse once again!
  
• Pathfinder Society, in German, 12.2. & 19.2.
  The Pathfinders find themselves invited to a charity dinner to benefit the Knights of Lastwall fighting in far-off lands against the lich king, Tar-Baphon. In the middle of dinner, evidence of a strange ritual arises, and the Pathfinders must investigate before dinner becomes a murder mystery!
  Registration via Meetup.
  
• System of the Month Februar: Vaesen, in English, 8.2. & 22.2.
  In dark forests, beyond the mountains, by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen.
  Registration via form in the post.

IMPORTANT!
Our Annual General Meeting with board elections will take place next week:
Thursday, January 16 at 6 p.m.
Place: New room at Güterstrasse 48, 3008 Bern
